Clinical resistance associated with a novel MAP2K1 mutation in a patient with Langerhans cell histiocytosis

Abstract: Patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) harbor BRAF V600E and activating mutations of MAP2K1/MEK1 in 50% and 25% of cases, respectively. We evaluated a patient with treatment-refractory LCH for mutations in the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway and identified a novel mutation in the MAP2K1 gene resulting in a p.L98_K104 > Q deletion and predicted to be auto-activating. During treatment with the MEK inhibitor trametinib, the patient's disease showed significant progression. In vitro characterization of the MAP2… Show more

“…During treatment with trametinib, the dosage of desmopressin to control diabetes insipidus was reduced, and the relapsed lesion could be quickly reduced by the reuse of trametinib. However, it has been found that p.Q56_G61delinsR, p.C121S/G128D, and p.98_104delinsQ mutations (of which only the rst was found in this study) may be related to resistance to trametinib (Nelson et al 2015;Azorsa et al 2018), so the e cacy and safety of targeted therapy need to be further studied.…”

“…In addition, several studies have identified a higher proportion of ERK activation than BRAF mutation [5,6,[30][31][32], prompting the exploration for additional activating mutations in the MAPK pathway. Further studies revealed MAP2K1 mutations in 27.5-33% of BRAF WT LCH patients [6,24,[32][33][34]. MAP2K1 encodes mitogenactivated protein kinase kinase 1 (MEK1), which is the downstream of the RAF family in the MAPK pathway.…”

“…Deciphering the efficacy of MAPKi newly prescribed in histiocytic neoplasms, data on resistance mechanisms in this rare disease are beginning to emerge. Recently, a novel MAP2K1 mutation was related to resistance in a patient treated with trametinib [95]. Similarly, RASA1 loss was highlighted as a mechanism of resistance to BRAFi treatment which was overcome by adding a MEKi [96].…”
